Friday was, for a few reasons, VERY brilliant...most of them are still coming to fruition (see what I did there!) but I can tell you about the one that has made my weekend a huge amount of fun!

Jojo from Innocent Smoothies replied to my note with the following;

Thanks very much for your e-mail. As we're inundated with requests for free stuff, we've developed a revolutionary policy whereby if you do something nice for us, we'll do something nice for you. People have made us handmade wall-hangings and bottle bags, homemade cakes, even photo stories starring their favourite recipes. Put your thinking cap on and who knows what might happen.

Well this sent my brain a whirring (and must admit that Cath was a great source of ideas over dinner on Friday night) to find something appropriate to show the love. Given that it was the weekend that we normally celebrate that great parliamentary near miss we settled on something fireworky. After a few beers / glasses of wine we had a fabulous idea...given the amount of time I think we have done pretty well.

Our plan was put in place in Battersea Park on Saturday before the main show although we did have to improvise after finding out that some of our planned equipment is no longer allowed in public...yes there was a ban on sparklers!!

About 30 minutes of horsing around and we had what we needed...an afternoon of digital tomfoolery today and all was done!

So here it is...with a lot of thanks to shape-thrower extra-ordinaire Mark and artisitc directors Cath and Caryn.

So, Innocent Smoothies...my gift to you... x
